Jade Dragon Snow Mountain---Ganhaizi---Yunshanping---Baishui River

Piercing to the elevation of 5,596 and standing aloft on southwest plateau of Yunnan in the south of the Hengduan Mountains, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is all-year-round snowcapped. The Mountain glitters crystal pure brilliance, resembling a silvery dragon which never ceases frolicking against the background of the azure skies. The Mountain hence got its name the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
